Archaeology Quiz Grade 7

I do not generally give multiple choice assessments, but students enjoy taking them as part of a review session or game. I can see using this tool as a way to review for tests and quizzes but I would ask my students to create the questions and the quiz. This activity would fit nicely into our unit on Plate Tectonics. I would organize the class into three or four groups and ask each group to create a quiz on one of the following: Plate Boundaries, Characteristics of the Earth's Interior Layers, Convection Currents in the Mantle, Earthquakes and Volcanoes. Each group could give a quiz to the rest of the class and in turn, take the quizzes made by the other groups. I am also using online quizzes to help students internalize concepts in science reading. Instead of answering end of chapter/section questions (boring!) I had my students work in small groups to create several challenging quiz questions. Each group added their questions to the class quiz. When complete, the class took the quiz together. Each group is guaranteed to get their own questions correct.

Update: I had my students read a section of their science book on convection currents in the mantle and make a class quiz. They loved doing this and trying to stump their classmates. Check it out
